About this board game

MERCS: Recon – Assassination Protocol is a fully cooperative, stand-alone game for 1–5 players, with sessions lasting about 90 minutes.

Players take the role of MERCS infiltrating an opposing MegaCon location. The modular setup supports a highly replayable experience as the team fights through the structure’s tight corridors and works to complete its mission.

Recon combines a fog-of-war mechanic with variable agent movement, creating an unfolding infiltration in which the team must discover what lies ahead. As the mission develops, security forces escalate and increase the pressure on the players.

The MERCS team must work through several linked objectives:

  • Capture and interrogate worker-citizens.
  • Find the mission objectives.
  • Breach and secure the package.

The game’s dynamic, high-quality miniatures bring the MERCS world to the table, while the modular structure helps each playthrough deliver a fresh arrangement. The cooperative format keeps the focus on the team’s shared mission rather than competition between players.

As the operation reaches its conclusion, breach and clear provides a tension-filled end game. Players must push through the final stage of the mission while dealing with the game’s escalating security forces.

With its stand-alone format, modular setup, variable movement, and distinctive breach-and-clear mechanic, MERCS: Recon – Assassination Protocol offers a focused cooperative infiltration experience set in the exciting MERCS world.
